(Watch Video 4:55 min:sec) Any food can cause pain. It can be 5% of your problem or 90% of your problem. Point being before or as you do any type of pain management treatment from chiropractic, to massage, or prolotherapy, stem cells or injection of joints with anything follow these five diet rules for 2-4 weeks. Eat NO DAIRY PRODUCTS, WHEAT CONTAINING FOODS (all junk carbs), NO EGGS and if you can do it NO ALCOHOL and cut your COFFEE way back or eliminate it. And EAT ONLY UNPROCESSED, WHOLE FOODS. Like you were at a farmers market. I have seen food elimination bring 5% pain relief to 95%. Remember if you don't adjust your diet you are going to pay more money for extra treatments for whatever. Just try a Whole Food "BED" Diet (Basic Elimination Diet) minus alcohol and coffee if you can for a month. Just EAT OFF THIS FOOD LIST at this link. (PAGE 2 IS FOOD LIST TO EAT FROM - NOT ELIMINATE) If you would like to know more about the type of shock wave therapy I use and the devices read here and here.
